A cigarette and coffee
As I decide how to approach this day
Wondering if there will be hurdles to jump
What obstacles will be in my way

I try to be optimistic
But I know how life works
Not everyone is nice
Some people are jerks

But the sun is shining
I don't dare turn on the tv
Things seem pretty easy-going
I don't need that ruined for me

A lot of times we forget
That things are a lot better than they seem
Don't get caught up in the *******
Instead of living the dream

This waking life isn't as terrible
As some make it out to be
We just have to take time to notice
When things are right
Instead of just when they are wrong

Love today
Because tomorrow may never come
